Typical properties on nonrough vector fields on closed surfaces (Q3978423)

The author points out generic properties of nonrough vector fields on closed surfaces. Notations: \({\mathcal M}\) is a closed, connected analytic orientable two- dimensional manifold of genus \(p\geq 0\) and \(d\) an analytic metric on \({\mathcal M}\). The space of all \(C^ k\)-smooth or analytic vector fields \(V\) on \({\mathcal M}\), endowed with a \(C^ r\)-metric \(\rho^ r\), is denoted by \({\mathcal X}^ r\) (\(r\geq 1\)). Finally, \(\Sigma^ r_ n\) denotes the space of fields of the \(n\)th degree of nonroughness, with metric induced from \({\mathcal X}^ r\). Under these notations, the author proves the following two theorems: Theorem 1. Suppose that \({\mathcal M}\) is distinct from a sphere; then in the space \({\mathcal X}^ r\backslash\Sigma^ r_ 0\) (\(r\geq 1\)) of all nonrough vector fields on \({\mathcal M}\) the fields of finite degree of nonroughness are not everywhere dense. Theorem 2. The set of fields of the first degree of nonroughness is open and dense in the space of all nonrough vector fields \({\mathcal X^ r}\backslash\Sigma^ r_ 0\) on \(S^ 2\), and also on \(T^ 2\) without equilibrium states, where \(r\geq 3\) if \({\mathcal M}=S^ 2\) and \(r\geq 2\) if \({\mathcal M}=T^ 2\).
